This is truly a heartwarming story about the bond formed
between a little girl and some construction workers. This
makes you want to believe in the goodness of people and
that there is hope for the human race.
A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot.
One day a construction crew turned up to start building a
house on the empty lot. The young family's 5-year-old
daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity
going on next door and started talking with the workers.
She hung around and eventually the construction crew, all of
them gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a kind
of project mascot.
They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had
coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here
and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first
week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing
five dollars.
The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the
appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take
the money she had received to the bank the next day to start
a savings account. When they got to the bank the teller was
equally impressed with the story and asked the little girl
how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young
age.
The little girl proudly replied, "I worked all last week with
a crew building a house."
"My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be
working on the house again this week, too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those useless bastards at
the lumber yard ever bring us the f**k!ng drywall."
